Our Mission Statement

St. Patrick Catholic School Mission Statement“St. Patrick Catholic School is a collaborative ministry of the parish and school community that serves the educational needs of each child in a safe supportive environment. The center of the educational process is the Catholic faith that promotes morality, virtues, academic excellence and service to the faith community and beyond.”

PHILOSOPHY:Education at St. Patrick Catholic School embraces the spiritual, intellectual, moral, and physical dimensions of personhood. Therefore, we believe:

Our children are our hope, the future of the Church and society. We join with parents, the primary educators, at the center of the educational process.

Catholic ideals, virtues and values are to be cultivated and practiced.

Each child needs a supportive, safe and caring, yet disciplined, environment for learning.

Parents and teachers must model their faith as a Catholic witness for each child.

Each child must be able to make decisions according to Catholic principles. The school encourages self-discipline, self-respect and respect for others, and growth in learning to deal with issues in a real world.

ACTIVITIES:St. Patrick Catholic School adheres to the Diocesan Curriculum Guidelines and follows the IHM Educational Policies for curriculum planning, reinforcement of Religion, ILA and math skills. Small classroom size to meet the needs of individual learning styles. Weekly Eucharist, opportunities for liturgical services, daily religion class and all school prayer enriches the spiritual life of the child. The students are enriched through math Challenges for grades 4/5/6, and a weekly program Honors Band, chess, public speaking and crafts. Volunteers support the primary grades with reading and math enrichment. Integration of technology more fully in each grade and subject area through the use of lap tops and website updates to enrich the students.
